More quotes by Sonia Braga
Sônia Braga reacted in a beautiful way to the draft I sent her, so we just made the film [Aquarius] as I had written it. Emilie [Lesclaux], my wife and producer, told me, This is not a two-hour film. This is going to be longer. And I said, Well, let's try and make it work, whatever length it is.
Sonia Braga
I think anybody who was ever saddened by a movie theater closing would be able to understand this film [Aquarius].
Sonia Braga
And getting older, what's happening is, I play only mothers.
Sonia Braga
When Sônia [Braga] talked about the script in detail, it was as if she had seen the film [Aquarius] last night, even though it hadn't existed yet. It was a completely bulls - t-less reaction, so I knew it had to be her, and she has been great ever since.
Sonia Braga
The ruins of classic movie theaters are a personal obsession of mine, and I've made a couple of documentaries about it.
Sonia Braga
The way I see it, I belong to the film as any other department.
Sonia Braga
We did receive some questions about the film's [Aquarius] sexuality in Cannes, but they came from the press rather than audiences.
Sonia Braga
You see all these old buildings [in Rio] going down or catching fire overnight, and it is so sad. I am very connected with these buildings because they are our history. It is the only one that we have.
Sonia Braga
The only thing I know is that we came from the stars, and that we have the same material as the stars. That's all that I know. Everything else I don't know.
Sonia Braga
You can keep yourself alive. That's the magic of being an actor.
Sonia Braga
I grew up in a very open-minded family. My father died when I was very little, so my mother was really, really incredibly busy trying to provide for us.
Sonia Braga
I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.
Sonia Braga
These 150-minute superhero films that Hollywood is making are so concerned with their length that each scene doesn't have the time it needs to make sense.
Sonia Braga
Of course, I was a little concerned about it being over two hours [in Aquarius ]. Neighboring Sounds was two hours and eleven minutes. This is two hours and twenty-five minutes, and I did try bringing it down. For instance, I considered cutting out the sequence with the family looking at pictures.
Sonia Braga
I like visual arts, and what I love doing is participating in the making of it.
Sonia Braga
It makes sense that somebody told you that you made the film from your perspective as a father.
Sonia Braga
Ultimately, you just have to do what feels right for the film. It really helps when you have great collaborators like my editor, Eduardo Serrano, who kept telling me various scenes should be longer.
Sonia Braga
I keep boxes filled with recuerdos - little memories that are in the form of pictures and events that I've written down. It's funny that I chose to write them in Spanish rather than English or Portuguese.
Sonia Braga
When was it that people decided as a society that your body is in one place and your sexuality in another place, something like a hat, or a coat, that when you leave home you hang it and when you come back home you say, Ah! Let's wear my sexuality! I might wear it tonight? It is something that belongs to your body.
Sonia Braga
I didn't like the script [of Aquarius], I loved it.
